"Shooter"
Good point CC. I actually met my wife on a computer BBS years ago. I would have been attracted to her and she to me, but the initial anonymity of the computer helped her to get over her shyness. We met through the screen, which led to the telephone, to meeting face to face.
I made alot of friends that way too. There are people you would not approach based on appearance. I know there was this big guys that looked like a neandrathal <sp?> that I met through the forums section of the BBS, not unlike this one. He would have scared the living daylights out of me if I had bumped into him out on the street somewhere. Anyway, he was really cool and we used to get together to jam all the time.
The computer does help to break down some communications barriers that would otherwise be there. In the dating world, you look first and then approach, with the internet, it is the other way around. But you never know, eh?
